In the series pilot episode "Broken Bow", Capt. Archer equates warp 4.5 to "Neptune and back [from Earth] in six minutes" (which would correspond to a distance of 547 light-minutes or 66 au, consistent with Neptune's being a minimum of 29 au distant from Earth).

"Broken Bow" is the two-part pilot episode of the science fiction television series Enterprise (later renamed Star Trek: Enterprise).
